Disgrifiad cryno

This module provides students with a foundation of core practical skills in performance making with an emphasis on creative processes and an examination of approaches to working in response to the material conditions of a given site or location. Accompanying and informing the creative process will be a critical engagement with relevant historical, cultural and aesthetic contexts and historical and contemporary practitioners.

Nod

This module aims to build and expand upon core theatre, performance and scenographic skills encountered during the first semester of Part 1. Through the creation and preparation of small group performances, the module requires students to contextualise and develop their work in relation to the wider field of theatre and performance, while also focusing on skills necessary to working as part of a collaborative team under the direction and/or facilitation of a member of staff. Accordingly, this module is intended to prepare students for practice-based and production-oriented modules in part two.

Cynnwys

Working in small groups in response to a site/theme/practice proposed by the group leader, students will develop and prepare a short performance (20-30 minutes in duration) to be presented at the end of the semester. In this module, particular attention is paid to the exploration of space and site, with the aim of grounding students in their location and landscape. Accordingly, the devised events will be developed in response to the specific location of their presentation.

The written assessment for this module will ask that students locate their project within a wider field of practice(s). Submitted after the final performance, students will be required to contextualise the project against a body of existing work and practices, and consider on how these were reflected or articulated through their work. This consideration will be present from the outset of each process and will be developed by readings and viewings that will be set by the project leaders.
